To all whom i may concern.' y

Be it. known that Genn A. Kunnen nnirrrr, a citizen ot the United States, and I a resident ot the city of New York borough l of Brookln, county of Kings, and State of New Yer have invented a new and I1n= roved Wire=Mesh Fabric, of which the fol== owing is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in wire mesh fabric, and has for an object to provide a structure in which the horizontal and vertical wires will be so locked together as to prevent anyvertical movement of the horizontal wires. I

A,- further object of the invention is to provide a wire rnesh structure in which the vertical wires are woven back and forth and crossed at certain intervals for holding the horizontal wires properlyspcced apart and against being inoved or dis laced vertically w en :pressure is brought to ear thereon.

In carrying out the obyects of the invenn tion, a wireinesh of a particular structure is provided, in which the horizontal wires or i rings cannot be forced downward by reason oi t e fact that `vertical wires arosrranrged in pairs and are woven back and .orthl v`he arrangement of the vertical wires in this manner is ada ted to lock the horizontal 80 wires so that w en the wire mesh is orrned into various articles, as lfor instance ice creano can jackets, the horizontal wires can= not be beaten down or rnoved vertically.

A. practicalerabodinient of the invention i A85 is re resented in the accompanying l'drawin s orrning a part of this specification, in w 'ch similar c aracters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.,

Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section 40 throu h an ice cream can holder and jacket L :forme of wire mesh ernbodyin the invenz tion; Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sie view of a *piece of wire lrnesh embodying the inven` tion; Fi 8 is a horizontal section throu hthe over ripping I line :3e-8 o Fig.' 2 embodying :features `or the invention,'a tying jwire being shown in connection therewith. Fig. e, is a section t through Fig. 3 approximately on the line l Referrin i l I by numero s,\aw1re mesh 1s s own inwhic y the numeral indicates the'mesh asfa whole,=

lwhich is composed or made'up 'of any desired'number 'of horizontal Wires 7, and a plurality of spaced palrsof verticalwires infuse elevation.

ends of wire mesh'on vt el c mwh tothe accompan ing drawin s 12 and le which are woven back and forth as more clearly shown in Figs. 2 and e, whereby the horizontal wires T cannot be forced downward when pressure is brought 30 to bear thereon. The vertical wires lil are inode -to extend over and under each of the consecutive horizontal wires 7, while the wire 13 extends similarly under and over the sanie horizontal wires. When wire ld is g5 under one ci the horizontal wires, wire 12 is over the saine wire, that is, the two wires are alternately over and under the wire 7. The pairs of wires l2 and ld cross each other at intervals, .between every two vconsecutive horizontal wires when the wire inesh is seen In forrnin this rnesh the horizontal wires and the ver ical wires are arranged in such relationshipto each other as to providersnbstantially square openings so that the 'horizontal wires are su ported at comparatively close intervals by t e vertical wires and thus cause the horizontal wires to niore strongly resist bending or an form of distortion. his forni of wire rnes may be so used on any article, but it is desirable espe= cially for use as e. guard for icecream cans in order to prevent the ice frein entering into the space provided for the can. n forming the wire Irnesh, the saine may be dipped in a 35 galvanizing solution, or any otherdesired similar solution. I

Aterthe wire rneshhas been constructed as described, the :sance rnay be ornied into various constructions, as for instance a guard eo 8 as disclosed in Fi 1, holding the ice from the space designe to be occupied by the can When the rnesh is formed into a guard as mentioned, the saine is overlapped preferably as shown in Fig. 3, and tie to= gether h suitable fastenin wires 6 lap ed over eac alternate wire and enten ing diagonally over certain'of the vertical wires 1Q and 18. The top'of the mesh 5 is prefer= abl soldered at S to a protecting band or col ar 9 having anoverhanging ange '10. The bottom of the mesh 5 is also secured in a similar manner to a collar 11 so that the upper and lower edges of the guard will be braced so as to Ihold theniore or'less Idexible roperly in place. This :mesh is especia. ly Aadapted for the makin of guards for ice cream cans as the same wi l'resrst the packing or beating oftheicewhich is neces-t sar l and the respective horizontelzwires wil ',be positively supported intheir original v position. l

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A Wire mesh fabric, comprising a body portion formed with a plurality of horizontal Wires, and a plurality of pairs of vertical Wires, each of said wires ofeach of said vertical pairs extending consecutively over wires,'and` a twist formed in each of said pairs oi vertical wires at intervals between every two consecutive Wires.

2. A wire mesh-fanno, comprising a body 'portion formed with a plurality of horlzontal wires and a plurality of pairsA of ver- Latex/ea tical wires, each of said wires of said verti cal pairs extending successively over and under successive horizontal wires, said wires of each of said vert-ical pairs being cat the opposite sides of each of said horizontal wires, and each of said Wires of each of said pair of vertical wires crossing each other atintervals between every two consecutive hori-4 zontal wires when the wire mesh fabric is seen infface elevation.

In testimony whereof \I have signed my llame to this speciicat-ion in the presence of two subscribin witnesses. .CA `L A. KULENKAMPFF. Witnesses:
